2009-03-25T13:07:33-06:00

From -Anonymous-: In this day an age you would think that since we choose our jobs that we might take pride in what we do for a living. Not the case for the staff at Capitol Park Tower. The buildings are old and with some TLC can still be called home. The ... [click to read full apartment review]

2008-07-07T13:28:26-06:00

2008-04-18T07:52:05-06:00

From antelope305: I haven't had any major problems with living at this apartment. It's perfect for me b/c it's just a 5 block walk to the National Mall and close to three metro stops including l'enfant plaza.

Capitol Park Tower: Poor Management - Ideal Apartment for Low-Maintenance Tenant (Not Recommending)

2008-03-07T10:59:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived at Capitol Park Towers for nearly two years. The apartment complex is ideal for a 20-something, low-maintenance tenant looking to save a few bucks while living in DC; nonprofiteers and public servants looking to live alone should step to the front of the line. I found the ... [click to read full apartment review]

2007-11-11T22:26:38-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I moved to Capitol Park because of its proximity to 2 Metro Stations (Waterfront-SEU and Federal Center SW), a grocery store, CVS and Gold's Gym and because of these reasons, my stay there was satisfactory. As for the building itself, during my stay there was a serious roach problem. Visits ... [click to read full apartment review]

Capitol Park Tower: Poor and getting worse (Not Recommending)

2007-11-07T13:06:32-06:00

From gstpete: I have lived in the building for nearly four months. Management staff is uncooperative, disorganized and, worst of all, belligerent -- poor interpersonal and zero customer service skills; negative attitude and behavior began the moment they handed over the keys. As another reviewer stated, management claimed to have not received ... [click to read full apartment review]

Capitol Park Tower: So excited to be moving out! (Not Recommending)

2007-11-08T08:24:47-06:00

2006-03-02T15:20:02-06:00

From lawgriff: I moved in April, 2000, after a problem with moving into Potomac Place, which is now going condo. It was nice. I worked on the Hill and could walk to work in under 15 minutes. Then it got warm . . . and no AC. So, I contacted management and ... [click to read full apartment review]

Capitol Park Tower: My experience at Capitol Park (Recommending!)

2005-11-30T11:11:49-06:00

Capitol Park Tower: Bad and getting worse. (Recommending!)

From -Anonymous-: I have live here for over 5 years, but in the spring of 2006 when my lease is up, it will be time to go.

2005-09-01T14:54:36-06:00

From bjohnson@law.gwu.edu: I remember these apartments as a child and always dreamed of living here, the grounds, common areas, apartments were all maintained exceptionally well.

Capitol Park Tower: Cheap place.... (Not Recommending)

2005-05-23T19:26:10-06:00

From alexanderdc@msn.com: The convenience of having 4 subway lines 3 blocks away is great but in general the management is probably the worst you will find. Some of the residents have been here since this building was a part of the ghetto and therefore they are dirty and with poor manners, but ... [click to read full apartment review]

Capitol Park Tower: Capitol Park Apartments - Avoid (Not Recommending)

2004-08-30T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Nice spacious efficiencies on the north side - which overlook an extremely noisy highway 100 feet away so your balcony will be unusable. That's OK with most tenants, who just use them to store their stolen shopping carts or other junk. Only one elevator out of three works reliably, so ... [click to read full apartment review]

Capitol Park Tower: I Like It (Recommending!)

2004-07-27T00:00:00-06:00

From MsGina: What I like most about my apartment is the view of the Monument and its convenience to stores, Metro, and my job.

Capitol Park Tower: 301 G Street has not fallen apart (Recommending!)

2004-05-19T00:00:00-06:00

From MattHere: I don't think 301 G Street, Capitol Park Towers, changed ownership. The "Capitol Park Twin Towers" at 101-103 G Street and the "Capitol Park Plaza" at 201 I Street changed ownership in the fall of 2002. I think most of these reviews refer to the two buildings that changed ownership.

2004-04-26T00:00:00-06:00

From cualawgrl: I have lived in this complex since 1999, and I can say prior to 2001, it was a decent place to live.

2004-03-08T00:00:00-06:00

From washingtonrenter: I have lived here for six years and although when I moved in it seemed an idyllic neighborhood, the past two years have been a nightmare.

2004-03-01T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As a long time tenant, I used to enjoy living in the Twins, but since the ownership slyly change in 2002, the less than basic (nothing to brag about) standards went downhill very fast!

2004-02-07T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The buildings are literally a construction zone and a sewer.

Capitol Park Tower: total disgrace! (Not Recommending)

2004-01-31T00:00:00-06:00

From pomba27@aol.com: Because this website requires users to agree to indemnify them in the event they are sued by a 3rd party, I am reluctant to post every negative thing I am capable of saying about our rather powerful landlord.

From ShirleyTerryPaulBlake: One neighbor referred to Capitol Park as "just like Poland, only 12 years ago."

Iﾴd have to agree.

2003-08-25T00:00:00-06:00

From corilyns@yahoo.com: Capitol Park has the potential to be a lovely apartment community -- if management and ownership is changed.
Southwest is Washington´s best kept secret -- it´s close to everything -- the convenience of the location accompanied by the lush greenery of a old fashioned neibhrhorhood are unrivaled. Plus, it´s comparatively inexpensive. ... [click to read full apartment review]
